Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims: The aim is to teach the skills to independently surface scan, post-process, and analyze a medium complex object using the scanner and software of the department.

Contents: The course gives an introduction into different surface scanning methods, with an emphasis on optotopometric surface scanning. Besides calibration and the scanning itself, the post-processing and analyses of the data are emphasized.

Methods: brief lectures, demonstrations, practical exercises (individual as well as in class), conducting an individual scanning project under supervision.

Assessment and permitted materials

Active participation, presentation of a relevant scientific article or book chapter, individual practical final project and its presentation.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

A minimum of 51 points and attendance of more than 80% is required for the successful completion of the course. The single components are weighted as follows: Active participation (20 points), presentation of a relevant scientific article or book chapter (20 points), practical final project (3D model: 30 points, oral presentation and reply to questions: 30 points).

Examination topics

Continuous assessment of course work (prüfungsimmanent)!
